******* S.N.A.P. REPORT *****

Greeting SNAPSTERS!

Rita and I want to send all of you a huge thank you for your help this past Sunday.  This was our first time being in charge of organizing this event.  After a three year break because of the pandemic we think as a team we were able to dust off those cobwebs and get back to work.  We want to thank everyone who volunteered for the clinic or worked behind the scenes bagging pet food, loading the trailer, checking equipment, donating water, snacks and sandwiches and our financial donors who made it all possible. 

When hosting a clinic you really don’t know how many owners are going to bring their pets to us.  We hope for at least 50 and pray we don’t go over 100.  We were pleased we had a total of 49 dogs and cats who got pampered by all of you while they recovered this past week. Some of our experienced clinic SNAPSTER’s were surprised we didn’t have more animals.  Honestly, Rita and I were not surprised.  Our post-pandemic model allows Mexican pet owners to bring their animals directly to the office for surgery allowing us to increase the number of animals spayed and neutered.  On average SNAP covers the cost for about 100 animals per month. Adding in community clinics like this past weekend will get us closer to our goal of 1,500 animals in 2023. 

The safety of our volunteers and animals is our top priority and are pleased to say there were no injuries (other than some sore muscles) or animal fatalities.  This was possible because of the care and attention you gave each of the animals in our care and your ability to quickly work as a team with each other. 

What’s next?  Well we are going to bask in the success of this clinic for a moment, make some adjustments to the things we think could have worked better and then start planning how we can educate and help some of our outlying communities.  As always, Rita and I are open to feedback on how things worked this past Sunday so we can improve in the future.
